Pros
Good money when you work good shifts at night and on weekends, servers can make 500-700 for a 40 hour week, bartenders 600-800 a week or more depending on resturant/shifts. Benefits are good but are in the process of being downgraded.
Cons
Company is shifting to exclusively part-time except for management, rolling out a program where no one will be allowed to move into full-time and only will hire for part-time positions. Obviously to limit the amount the company spends on health benefits, so really the only way to make this into a career would be to join the management team. Pay was cut as well to all bartenders and bussers in 2011 from at least minimum wage to $5 an hour across the board despite how long the individuals had been with the company, and the wage has been supplemented by making servers tip out mandatory instead of voluntary. This was done the same year the CEO of the company received a 10% pay increase for his own salary.
